Blaze Your Own Trail

As an honors program member, you will choose what you want to study and what you want to learn. This puts a lot of responsibility in your hands, but also gives you ownership of your academic direction.

Your freshman year, you will be part of a cohort of about 20 other honors program students. This group will take a year’s worth of courses together, six hours a week during that first year. You will remain a part of that cohort in the second year, while at the same time beginning to branch out on your own.
